The man who said "Go West, young man!" NEVER dealt with an Interstate intersection! I thought you had meant Augusta Co VA when you expected to see me.... Great video, and I know you will have fine tuned your baby in after another few pulls!
Love your low(er) $$ approach. My fist pullin' tractor (oliver 70) had the number "62" written on the side with soap stone; that was the out-of-pocket dollars I had in putting the tractor together. Moved on to a pretty hot little Farmall H that I stroked the crank 1-1/2" in my shop... it was class champion in our little circuit until I sold it. Brings back some memories... makes me wanna build another. Thanks; glad to see you enjoying the blessings you have received!!
Good pull Bill your getting me excited about heading to our local fairs coming up to watch the pulls we have two good fairs with good pulls here in central Pa. Thanks for sharing God bless you and your family.
Man yeah, that was epic!! Had to chuckle about the first unstyled puller ,ole foot on the governor arm trick🤣🤣 Tuff choices though at a point, stay in the gas or get on the brake pedal with that foot 😁😁 Brings back memories, thank you Bill, look fwd to seeing where you head next!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁
This is Carol Wilkins, the woman you talked to at the tractor pull. Thanks for taking the time out of your night to talk to me, and my sister and brother-in-law. We Wilkins' think you're great and we'll keep watching your videos!
Hi Carol! Just now saw this, I really enjoyed meeting y'all! Thanks for being willing to travel "a fer piece", to say hi! Hope we'll meet again sometime!
Nice video Bill. It was really cool that the first folks you talked with (Heinz 57) are friends of mine up here in Pa. Good people. That deere power tractor is a hoot to watch going down the track!
Quite a collection of iron. Wonder if it's all EPA approved by the DC elite... LOL. Tractor pulling has definitely evolved over the years. Lots of friendly competition and comraderie.
Mornin my Christian brother- question: why aren't you using an air-to-(ice)water intercooler? Air charge density, cool/ rich with oxygen is key to making big HP/TQ Thanks !😊
Hey Todd! You are correct about that, some places don't allow an added on intercooler, but honestly, I get tired of the hassle of fooling with the ice, and in this class, I can get it to run strong enough to win without it. But if I was going for absolute max power, I'd have to have one!
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 OK, interesting. Then another way 'round would be a LONG charge air pipe between compressor outlet and intake. The air temperature would still be substantially lower, no maintenance with ice / water and still within the rules?
@@ToddsHouseofSpeed-uq5sp Great minds think alike, we stretch out the pipes pretty long, and spray water in several places along the way to cool the charge as it travels through.
Bill, when did the tractor last pull? In the video I could see to Bill replicas. You have been given great treasure in these boys. Hope you all had a nice time!
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 You did just fine. I'm asking - just really wonder what its like and the closest is you telling me. It seems to torque ubruptly to the right causing the front to move to the left. Is it because the right wheel spins a bit more than the left or is it the track that does it and causes it to do that? Or are the tires somehow causing it? Seems exciting for sure!!!
@@happyjohn8256 It is exillarating to go on a wild ride like that. The track can cause it, the sled can cause it, the differential in the rear end can cause it, hitting on of the individual rear brakes will cause that too. Don't know, but the track and not being lined up with the sled well enough could have caused it this time.
